IOT XV: Clanking of the Swords

Why would be oppress our culture? The Latin culture is a hegemonic thread which ties the Cubans, Honduran, Panamanian, Venezuelan, Argentinian... these and others are Latino, which we wish to embrace. The Mexican were but have been enslaved by chaos, converte to savage times indeed. We will however open ourselves to Spanish speaking Mexicans of honest conviction that seek to life with their fellow Latino. Still our focus is on our status as the beacon of order in a sea of chaos.

We would invite the Honduran masses to think of the incidents we recently had with the CSA; our legal inspection of the tourist party being taken in ill ways by the arrogant Confederates and the Confederate assault on a merchant vessel. The former shows that the CSA does not have respect for law and would bring the threat of war just to keep their citizens from being applied to the laws of the places they visit. We needed to do the inspections to check that those tourists were not agents. As for the tragic case of the ICS Alzaga we take note that the CSA will likely want to exploit the Honduran populace through aggressive tones, even if the Honduran peoples are independent as they are now or under the "protection" of the savage Nahuatl Federation. If kept out of the Imperium it appears that Honduras will be enslaved by the forces of disorder, which will aid only the Communists.

Henceforth we invite diplomats from Honduras to Panama City so they may discus the terms of the entry of Honduras into the only salvation in Latin America from anarchy, communism, Confederate aggression, savage ways, tyranny and crime. Remember that south Cuba enjoys not having to lock their doors at night and when out as our junta has ensured that the law is respected, for criminals are a cowardly lot who will keep out of the way if one shows enough strength.

We strive for unity through power and power through unity. Join us our Honuran brothers and sisters! Only we can keep you safe from the cultural domination of those who will stand against Latino values. The family system will survive under us. The respect of ones elders is still present in the Imperium. We honour hard labour while the CSA strives to laziness and piracy. May the glory of the Conquistadors keep our spirits high as we serve as a single candle that wields a flame of hope that is flickering away the vile sea of darkness!

Peace through power as we hail the Imperator!
People of Honduras, you need only look at the language of the Panamanians to see that they worship the Spanish hegemony and the conquistadors who conquered and opressed your ancestors for generations. Did your ancestors not fight to be rid of Spanish opression? Will you now dishonor their sacrifices by returning to Spanish hegemony? For that is what Panama is, a return of Spanish slavery and misrule to your fair land.

Beware the Panamanians, refuse their deal with the devil.
 
The Caribbean Debates said:
Haiti: Join Panama or Die
Venezuela: Please let Panama annex you unconditionally
Honduras: You get a choice, you can be annexed by Panama or the Nahuatl, so take your pick!
An Open Communication to the Caribbean States:

The United State of Pacifica is appalled at the recent state of diplomacy in the Caribbean. The powers of Imperial Panama, the Nahuatl Federation, and the Confederacy have collaberated to produce a scenario in which you are forced to choose; not between freedom and slavery, but which foreign power you are annexed by. We implore you, not to be taken in by their deception, but to chose the correct path; the path of pride, the path of power, the path of independance! Your people have not struggled for so many years only for you to now roll over to imperialist oppression, have not built out their lives in peace only to be dragged into this meaningless conflict amongst others.

Whilst much has been spoken of protecting your culture, even of your independance in the Nahuatl case, none of thes words ring true. Each seeks only to oppress your people for their own ends, to secure your lands in a bid to strengthen themselves for the great war they think inevitable. We urge you not to fall for their lies and propaganda, but to think rationally on the situation. What would happen, should, as they assert, your independance be threatened by another? Will these powers look the other way? Will they leave you to your demise? Unlikely. Each of these powers will enforce your independance, for not one can allow you to fall into the hands of their enemies. Should Panama follow up on the threats to invade Haiti, the Nahuatl and Confedercy will surely rally to throw them back. Should either side seek to occupy Honduras, the other will respond. Your freedom is ensured by the very conflicts that these nations would use as an excuse to take it. Do not lie down and submit to their dominance; assert your rights to freedom and stand strong, assured in the knowledge that you will be protected.

If any of you doubt what we have said, we will provide you with reassurance. Any nation in the Carribean or North America* that feels threatened need only ask, and we will sign a defensive pact with you. We will pledge ourselves to your protection, that you may know our words are not simply more of the empty promises you have been given.

Blunder McGaffe,
Foreign Minister of Pacifica

*Offer not extended to the Free States of America, the Confederate States of America, the Nahuatl Federation, or the Imperium of Panama

-----

To the nations bordering Pacifica:

In light of the growing tensions in the Carribean, we offer to each of your nations a Guarantee of your Independance. Should you be threatened by an outside power, you need only say the world and we will assist you in your struggle for freedom. Together, the people of our nations may be secure, whereas alone we have cause for further worry.

Blunder McGaffe,
Foreign Minister of Pacifica

The devil? The CSA are rich to proclaim themselves a candidate for honour... WHEN THEY HAVE ASSAULTED A CIVILIAN MERCHANT SHIP?! They proclaim the Conquistadors oppressors... who liberated the natives of Mexico from a sacrificial cult?! They call the Spanish, whom the Latino share blood with, oppressors when the northerners had proved themselves exploiters to great degrees, murdering the natives in their land. Our hegemony is naked in its truth; power is necessary to ensure peace and order. Unity is best protected with power: power is best controlled through unity. Hence we declare "peace through power" as a whim to our ends. The Latino, be they direct decadent of the Conquistadors, natives who adopted the way of civilization or others will find haven within the Imperium, safe from exploitation and their children not threatens by pitiful thugs, be they of the street or (in the case of the CSA) of hostile states.

Us must know thy enemy; a German by the name of Carl Schmitt noted that democracy blinds one to hostility, for we must beware of the CSA who now attempt to disunite the Spanish speaking peoples. If the CSA consists then we will play ball. We could declare that "New Mexico and such should reconsider joining the CSA, for the CSA will robe them of their security and their right to trade freely, for the CSA will deny trade through Panama and to Japan." However we are not children; the CSA will learn to respect OUR sphere of influence, OUR right to invite new members, OUR borders which the CSA so happily attempts to violate, OUR people. The Imperium will not abandon Honduras and the CSA should respect this if they want to prove that they know some degree of civilization. Crime does not pay and it is a crime to bring disunity to a people.

We will defend Honduras from the Confederate, the Communist and other aids to Lucifer!

As for the the United State of Pacifica: heed them... if you want to leave yourself open for a pack of wolf to digest you! The CSA will sooner or later seek to "recruit" you by force! Join us and do not accept the naive way. However the The United State of Pacifica do show... some consideration in recognising that imperialism is imperialism, for the Federation and Confederacy lie about their true intention, when we admit that power is necessary for peace. Hence we are not fully offended by the USP. We request though that Haiti and Hondorus, along with the South American powers, heed not the path of the USP over the Imperium but do consider above the Federation and the CSA. Best to be weak than savage and uncivilized. We are strong, civilized and have commitment to the will to power. We are the strongest. Consider us above all; unity is power.
 
I like where this is going so I'm rejoining.

Please shut up.
 
Sad to see such errant displays of rampant imperialism and aggression. Surely these nations masquerading as empires have, even under their illusions of faded grandeur, have not lost such a grasp on reality that they attempt to fully disregard the sanctity and sovereignty of these nations who have fought so hard to chart their own path in this world? This blatant disrespect for the state of modern politics is nothing short of disgraceful.

Shame be upon those who attempt to stifle the voices of all those other states, equal players on the global stage, that they view to be inferior for whatever asinine reason.

The Jordans fully support the stance taken by the United State of Pacifica.
 
The Confederacy would like to clarify their position on Honduras. We would support either independence or annexation by the Nahua, but only by the choice of the Honduran people.

See? The Confederates want you annexed anyrate; the difference is they want you to not be among your fellow Latino and set in orderly safety (your a jigsaw piece in the form of the greater Panama!) but the CSA want you to be unsafe. You will be unsafe as a independent state due to the Federation's and CSA's savage ways, while you be worse off under them. Join us and together we will stand as a beacon of civilization! Your local populace will be grander their own governor from their own ranks and their own eventual army that will serve as a elite force in the Imperium. Consider well.

Please shut up.

We do what we must because the CSA and Federation cannot respect our sovereignty. However we now encourage the Federation and CSA to leave future talks to private communications... for now.

Though naive we can understand the Jordans in light of the CSA and Federation; our imperialism though is for order and is hence forth a force of good. We are like the Romans, Spanish and Portuguese, champions of civilization. It is our mission to defend and spread the light of order. As one the Latino will be strongest. Unity brings power.
 
OOC: You're trying to annex 3 nations at once. It's a bit ridiculous.

To the Kind People of Honduras

If you are not willing to join the federation, then the Nahuatl Federation will be willing to sign both an alliance and a guarantee of independence for the Honduran people, in case of foreign aggression. However, and I must reiterate, you will not be able to defend yourselves from certain fascistic invaders as effectively as if you were in a cohesive military structure.
~Tlatoani Pochtol
 
The Confederacy would like to offer all nations currently being threatened by the Panamanians an alliance and a guarantee of independence. The Confederacy will not allow Panama to continue annexing sovereign nations and destroying their people and culture by reimposing the Spanish mantle that they all fought so hard to be rid of in the past.
 
OOC: Assuming that Texas/New Mexico/Chihuahua is the Western Territory Administration.

IC:

To The Government and People of the Western Territory Administration
From The Confederated States of America

Recent inspections of the Territory by Confederate government officials as well as the testimony and petitions of your Territorial Administration and people have proven to the Government of this Confederacy that the Western Territory is quite worthy of statehood in the Confederacy, and that this statehood is in fact far overdue. As such, the Confederate Congress has authorized your petitions of statehood. Pending further referendums among the people of South Texas, New Mexico, and Chihuahua, the Confederacy will be happy to welcome you into the fold of the Confederacy as full member states with all of the rights, privileges, and benefits thereof. It is the hope of both the Congress and President Featherston that your people will choose statehood in the Confederacy, along with all of the economic benefits it will bring to you.

EDIT: SHOOT. Sorry about the double post, I meant to copy and paste this into the previous post but accidentally posted instead.
 
The people of Honduras are being denied entry into the Imperium? See Hondurans! They are the ones who are oppressing you by denying your chance to join your fellow Latino brethren! Now they threaten the sovereign duty of the Imperium! If the CSA consists then we will block their claims to invite members into their nation; the same with the uncivilized Federation. The Government and People of the Western Territory Administration should heed that they are being used as a tool of a hypocrite, a liar who will not use their power for order but rather for destruction.

Honduras are requested to refuse the demands of the savages! Even a defence pact will sign the death of your dignity! The CSA's rheotric shows that they want to strip Honduras of their Hispanic linkage, murdering the Spanish language in place of the English; they want to destroy the Latino culture. They have forgotten that Panama and other Latino nations are set in standard of the Spanish colonial whims, for it was the colonialist, not the native, who ruled that day in the great revolt that Napoleon invited with his conquests of Hispania. Henceforth Honduras are not safe outside their Latino influence; if all else fails we suggest a Pan-Latino Pact for all Latino nations to sign in Latin America to keep the Confederate and Federal scum from destroying Latino culture! Do not bow to the northern barbarians!

OOC: You're trying to annex 3 nations at once. It's a bit ridiculous.

OOC: I first thought the diplomacy mechanic was going to be for grey zones; now that it is NPCs I am attempting to get my bets. This is not ridiculous to try something, although I am still waiting for NN to respond.
 
To: the other Germanic States (i.e any Germans, Denmark, Netherlands thing, possibly Bohemia)
From: Prussia
We would like to create a customs and trade union with you, called the Neudeutscher Bund (New German Alliance). This would include full military alliance, full trade, and open borders.
To: Mexico, the CSA, and Iberia
Do you wish to formalize a defensive pact?

To: Nedim
Since the internet here is no where good enough for proper orders, could you automate my non-diplomatic orders until I have decent internet?
My priorities would be civic, while maintaining an army.
 
The Nahuatl Federation is pleased to learn of the existence of the benevolent nation that is Prussia hence it will consent to this agreement. May this pact signal the beginning of many fruitful years to come.

10th anniversary of the occupation of Vienna

Today, July 23 1950, marks the 10th anniversary of the occupation of Vienna. On this very day, the austrian armies that were fighting against the prussians were crushed and the emperor of the time, Karl IV, died on the battlefield. Around this time, the current Emperor, Franz V, was on a vacation in Croatia and was crowned Emperor in a very rushed ceremony at the cathederal of Zagreb, which became the de facto living place of the emperor until the end of the war.

Back to the present, a huge militar march was done on Vienna. The emperor and those in the march went to the cementery of the many soldiers who fought in the war and a major ceremony was held there. Many more civilian marches (and a couple of Doulvinists that accused the government of cooperating with the prussians) were made, but the march mentioned earlier was the most important.

In this climate, Austria sent a diplomat to Prussia in hopes of striking a cultural cooperation treaty in hopes of reconciling both nations.

(by the way, if I can, civilian tech +1)
 
Will the CSA and the Federation condemn Prussia for annexing states? Because German reunification is like the Imperium's desire to reunite the Latino, who were originally sought to have been a unified union; we wish to make that dream a reality. We support German reunification as we sought to unify Latin Americans.
 
The Confederacy approves of the Prussian request to formalize an alliance.

As for the Panamanian rhetoric towards the Western Territory Administrarion... The Confederacy wonders if Panama needs a history lesson. The WTA is a Territory of the Confederacy, which has simply been denied statehood up until this point.
 
The Latino nations were under the same cause in their sovereign struggle in their revolt; the notion that the CSA presumes ignorance has ignored the central cause of our degree in how relative it is to Prussia's Germany reunification plot. It is the Confederate that results to mindless rhetoric, for Honduras is to Panama as Saxony is to Prussia: parts of the same family, best united. We stated that if you dare oppose our claim to Honduras then it is logical that your claims to the likes of the WTA are nothing but violation. Simply put; respect that Honduras is to unite with Panama (which will pave a way for the united Latino power) or we will declare you utter hypocrite as the first of many considerations to declare. As for Prussia we hope their senses come to a alliance with us, especially to ensure a good relation between Prussia and Rome, plus Serbia.
